Pakistani batting reserves at an all-time low?

[Muhammad Saad]

Sad day to see but honestly speaking, Hafeez, Shehzad, Akmal bros are far better than the clowns we are playing in our team.
I think PCB should get rid of the domestic bullies from national T20s atleast otherwise we ain't gonna find decent power hitters if Khurram, Fawad, Asad, Sohaib, Rizwan etc keep playing and performing.
The less we talk about the upcoming power players like Asif Ali, Rizwan Hussain, Khushdil Shah,Ahsan Ali, Bismillah Khan the better it would be.

 

[Tintin_FTW]

Nah they would've stunk it up just as bad.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

The only upcoming guy who can handle real pace and bounce is Umair Yousuf but he is terrible against spin.

I know but 1/4 games they might give you a 50+ score which is unlikely from these clowns.

 

[Barragan]

So many accumulators playing in Imam, Rizwan and Haris, but they still couldn't even last 20 overs between them. )

Generally, you only play 1 accumulator in T20's and Pak were loaded, however to still see this performance is pretty pathetic.

 

[Tintin_FTW]

Sarfaraz, Umar Akmal, and Shehzad stunk it up against a Sri Lankan B team at home in friendly conditions, they would've been no hope in Australia either. Hafeez might've made a 20 before getting caught at deep-mid wicket to a part-timer.

At the end of the day, T20 is about specific T20 tactics, mindset, and strategy more than anything else, with technique mattering less so and with Misbah at the helm Pakistan will never succeed in the format.

 

[Energy]

Fat butts or weak stick figures. That's all we have. No power player, no stroke player, no shot maker.

 

[Mercurial]

No please, no to Hafeez, Malik, Sarfraz, Akmal and Shehzad. We should hold our nerves. Winning or losing is part of the game. We must drop Wahab and Irfan. Stick with youngsters.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

They pick the accumulators and ask them to hit out, that's bound to happen. Atleast they tried hard to hit boundaries but lack of talent eventually caught up with them, for once I won't blame Misbah for negative and defensive tactics.

 

[Pakhs]

This wicket is worst nightmare for any Pakistan batsmen.

The management thinks if Tiny little Babar can become no1 T20 batsman then Imam and Haris can also be suited for that. That is a big worry that they don’t see the difference in class and talent.

We don't have a single reliable power hitter in our domestic setup so what else options do we have instead playing the players who have succeeded in ODIs atleast?

 

[Muhammad Saad]

The other option is to play Hafeez and Co. They might do a bit better but going for Sohail Akhtar, Ahsan Ali and Rizwan Hussain is like playing 3 Asif Ali's clones.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imam, Babar, Rizwan and Haris as the top four in a T20 line-up. You are not winning games with this batting.

Besides Babar, and Haris in subcontinent conditions, you need two power players in the top-order. Fakhar's lack of form has crippled us, but we should have had a replacement for him. His game is high risk, so there will be times he is in terrible form.

Power players doesn't mean tullaybaaz like Asif Ali.

Sohail Akhtar isn't good.

Ahsan Ali and Rizwan Hussain are two young openers who are strong off the back-foot. On paper, that's exactly what Pakistan need and they should get an opportunity in the next series.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

They both suffer from Brain freeze nor they are talented enough for Internationals, so what is the point?
